The best time to travel Alaska?
Like the Goldrush days of Alaska, the weather is also a gamble. The cruise season starts as early as the end of April, beginning of May and finishes around the end of September. The most popular months are July and August. But if you are looking for the best cruise specials try for the beginning or the end of the season. The early months are often nice. Longer days (the longest day in June) with only a few hours of darkness are the experience that is Alaska. July and August are typically the warmest months. That is when most families take advantage of their summer holidays to get away. Nature excursions, the salmons spawning in August, the bears fishing for lunch that is the wildlife experience.
